2. how do guys in wikipedia deal with the category
work upon the huge
amount of articles, for example, category method, level or inheritance
between categories.
Categories are edited by normal users, just like articles.
Sometimes a category is missing, and then it is created,
often following a pattern of other categories. For example
if there are categories for French food and German food,
I might create a category for Swedish food.
Sometimes a user analyses a bigger part of the category
structure and proposes that food categories should be named
by ethnic origin rather than country, or that food and drink
should be one category instead of separate categories.
But the user who does this for food and drink is not the
same user that does this for pet animals or vintage cars.
And on another language of Wikipedia, the category structure
could be completely different. Many languages have a page
for discussions about the category structure, such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion
So far, this is not a "technical" issue that is discussed
on wikitech-l. The technical part is just making sure that
the creation and editing of categories can be done. This
also involves some semi-automatic tools such as using a
"bot" to move articles from one category to another.
